EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY PRACTICE TEST FINAL
Which is more than 90% of fat stored in the body and is composed of glycerol
molecule connected to 3 fatty acids?
Triglycerides
Which of the following blood pressures is considered hypertension in an adult?
140/90
Uncoordinated gait, headache, dizziness, vomiting, and elevated body
temperature are signs and symptoms of?
Heat exhaustion/Heat stroke
Relative proportions of fat and fat-free (lean) tissue can be reported as?
Body composition
Which physiologic response(s) would be expected to occur under conditions of
high ambient temperature?
Increased submax HR
Regular exercise will result in what chronic adaptation in cardiac output during
exercise at the same workload?
No change
Which of the following is characterized by decreased bone mass and density,
producing bone porosity and fragility?
Osteoporosis
When using the original Borg scale (6-20) for the general public, exercise
intensity should be maintained between?
12 and 16
What is angina pectoris? Discomfort associated with...
Myocardial ischemia
What is a special precaution when taking the carotid pulse?
If the HR is taken at the carotid artery, do not press too hard or a reflex slowing the
heart can cause dizziness.
When exercise training children...
Increasing the rate of training intensity more than approximately 10% per week
increases overuse injury risk.
Which risk factor for developing CAD (CVD) has the greatest likelihood of being
influenced by regular exercise?
Hypertension
Which of the following components of exercise prescription work inversely with
each other?
Intensity/duration
Which of the following types of muscle stretching can cause residual muscle
soreness, is time consuming, and typically requires a partner?
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
Reasons for fitness testing of the older adult include:
- Evaluation of progress
- Exercise prescription
- Motivation
